Last Week’s Highlights

Last week I debuted Mr. Blog’s Tepid YouTube channel. From a dusty old videotape, I uploaded a very funny/pathetic video of Ed Koch, from his days as judge of The People’s Court. He presided over the case of a pair of backyard wrestlers, one of whom Ed Koch says needs a psychiatrist. The video is long but it is worth your time. See it here. Click this very link!

Also this week, In fact just yesterday, the Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys featured Superman’s Justice Jogger. This one went over big with the bad toy crowd. You can click right here to see it.

I also explored the romantic link between Gargantuas, Devo, and the Scooby Gang. Click here to go back to Tuesday’s post.

Coming This Week:

Youtube is a wonderful, wonderful, pain in the ass. Uploading my Ed Koch video was a nightmare and the upshot is that the In Search Of… scheduled for last week will now run this week. This is a good one. We search for Satan. and we find him, too.

About The Image

Those are not familiar TV detectives Starsky and Hutch, Ironside, Columbo, McCloud, Baretta, et al. Those are their cheesy TV movie counterparts from the great Murder Can Hurt You. Do yourself a favor and look it up.

superman-logo-012LOOK! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… it’s… probably just a bird or a plane. So where’s Superman? Lex Luthor has just stolen the Fregosi Emerald (get it?) and he’s making his getaway down Bates Avenue! Someone has to stop him!

Oh, wait a minute, here comes Superman, reclining in an easy chair and drinking a nice warm cup of tea. He’s wearing a cardigan and slippers. Huh? How does he ever expect to catch Luthor now?

Oh, catch him he shall. For superman is taking it easy today, sitting back and catching up on some reading while persuing evil in his JUSTICE JOGGER!

Yes, for those days when leaping tall buildings in a single bound just sounds like too much effort, and flying at supersonic speed is a lot of work, Superman whips out his JUSTICE JOGGER and chases the bad guys at a nice and sedate, moderate rate of speed.

And hey- power stepping action! No longer will medium-sized rocks stand between Superman and rounding up the Royal Flush Gang. It even has a sun roof!

This looks like so much fun! Doesn't it? DOESN'T IT???

Wow- that sun roof is windup powered! And can you believe that the package says that Superman could catch Darkseid in that? Whoa, is there anything the Justice Jogger can’t do? Probably catch Darkseid, for one thing.

This one broke down when Cyborg took it to Detroit and it was stripped for parts by a gang.
